Common bricklaying projects

  • Brick and block walls
  • Masonry repairs
  • Garden and boundary masonry

Before agreeing to the work

Confirm the scope of foundations, materials, matching, demolition and disposal. Discuss any necessary design or approval work separately.

Confirm the person’s experience, relevant qualifications and insurance directly. Agree on a written scope and price before work starts.

What to include in your job brief

  1. Give the approximate length, height and thickness of the structure. Say whether the work is a new wall, an alteration or a repair.
  2. Photograph existing brickwork, cracks and access. Include the brick or block type if known and explain whether matching is important.
  3. Say whether materials or drawings exist and whether removal is required. Ask the bricklayer to assess footing and structural requirements.

An example brief

Repair a damaged section of a brick garden wall approximately 2 metres long. Photos show the existing bricks and damaged area. Matching the current finish is preferred.

Replace the details with your own job, location, photos and timing. A clear brief helps a tradie decide whether the work suits them.

How TradeBrief helps

You can sign in as a client to share a job brief with photos and a contact method. TradeBrief is in early access: responses and local availability depend on the trades using the platform. Posting does not guarantee a quote or a booking.

The directory shows sponsored businesses when listings are available. A listing is not a guarantee of suitability for your job.
